Structure & Formations

The price action over the past 24 hours exhibited a clear bearish bias, marked by a breakdown from the key psychological level of 0.3200. A key support zone has developed between 0.3120 and 0.3130, where the price has shown multiple rejections. Notably, the candlestick pattern on the 15-minute chart at 04:30 ET formed a bearish engulfing pattern, signaling a potential reversal from a short-term rally. A doji appeared at 01:45 ET, suggesting indecision and potential consolidation.

Moving Averages

On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages have both turned downward, reinforcing the bearish trend. The 50-period MA is currently below the 20-period MA, forming a bearish crossover. On the daily chart, the 50-period MA is trending lower but remains above the 200-period MA, indicating a possible continuation of the short-term bearish trend, though the longer-term trend remains neutral to slightly bearish.

MACD & RSI

The MACD has remained below the signal line for the past 8 hours, with the histogram shrinking slightly, suggesting that the bearish momentum may be weakening. The RSI stands at 34 (as of 12:00 ET), nearing the oversold zone. While this could imply a potential short-term bounce, confirmation via a bullish candle with increased volume would be necessary for a reliable reversal signal.

Bollinger Bands

The Bollinger Bands have seen a moderate widening over the last 6 hours, indicating increasing volatility. The price has remained below the middle band, suggesting bearish pressure. The most recent close near 0.3129 is approaching the lower band, which may act as a key support level if volume increases on the next test.

Volume & Turnover

Volume has been relatively mixed, with a spike observed between 22:00 and 23:00 ET as the price dropped from 0.3210 to 0.3196. However, volume has since declined sharply, with minimal turnover reported during the early morning hours. A divergence between price and volume appears in the last two hours, suggesting that the bearish move may be losing steam.

Fibonacci Retracements

Applying Fibonacci retracement levels to the recent 15-minute swing from 0.3242 to 0.3114, the price has now reached the 61.8% retracement level at approximately 0.3147. A failure to break above this level may lead to a test of the 78.6% retracement at 0.3161. On the daily chart, the 38.2% retracement level at 0.3180 has held as a resistance level, suggesting further downward pressure if this level is retested without a breakout.

Backtest Hypothesis

The backtesting strategy described involves a mean-reversion approach that triggers short entries when price closes below the 20-period MA with RSI below 35 and volume increasing by at least 30% from the previous 30-minute bar. Long entries are triggered when price retests the 20-period MA from below with RSI rising above 40 and volume increasing. The strategy also includes a tight stop loss at the recent swing high for short positions and a tight stop loss at the recent swing low for long positions. The above analysis supports the validity of this hypothesis, particularly with RSI near oversold levels and the 20-period MA acting as a dynamic support/resistance level.
